Provide for confidentiality for train crew members involved with railroad fatalities and access to confidential information of train crew members and exempt train crew members from being required to display operator's licenses to law enforcement

Summary

LB 485 requires that identifying details of train crew involved in railroad fatalities be removed from public reports and kept confidential by law‑enforcement agencies. It also lets the crew’s employer, courts, prosecutors and certain officials view the full, unredacted records when needed, and it bars officers from demanding that crew members display an operator’s license. The measure aims to protect crew privacy while still allowing necessary investigative access.
